Dear Parent,

Summer holidays are the time of the year when you get an opportunity to spend the maximum time
with your child. Summer vacation is a welcome break; break from fixed schedules and the hustle
bustle. We have planned activities that will keep children positively engaged and also help them to
learn through first-hand experience. Kindly help and guide your children in exploring their creative
self.

Let‟s keep in mind a few tips to make the most of this beautiful time and make it a memorable time for
our children.

 Morning Blessings: Help your child inculcate good habits like doing "Surya Namaskar" and
encourage them to greet all elders in the morning.
 Fun Time With Your Children: Tell your child about your childhood, share incidents from the
past and show them the old family albums. Have at least two meals daily with your children.
This will strengthen the bond between you and your child.
 Fun with Books: Encourage the child to read English and Hindi stories with morals in order to
inculcate values and to enhance their vocabulary and speaking skills.
 Cook with Parents: Let them help you in cooking. It helps them boost children‟s confidence
and learn new skills.
 Let your child help you in your household chores like arranging the dining table, filling the
water bottles, watering plants, dusting and many more. This will help them to be responsible.
 Have loads of fun, go out for picnics, play indoor games like Ludo, Carrom Board and
Scrabble; and outdoor games to keep the children engaged and entertained.
 Avoid giving chocolates, jellies, cream cakes, chips, aerated drinks and too many bakery
products like puffs and fried items.
 Adopt or grow a plant as to contribute to Mother Nature , admire the beautiful nature and enjoy
the early morning sunrise and the evening sunset.
 Holiday Homework has to be submitted on Friday, 1st July 2022 to the Class Teacher.
 Revise: Children can make their revision more fun by involving their friends or family. Have a
mapped out schedule to ensure fun and learning go hand in hand.

“Children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they
possess inside.”

Wishing you all a very enjoyable and fun-packed summer break.

Stay Safe!
We will meet you soon!
Happy Holidays!
 GRADE – XII (SCIENCE)
ENGLISH CORE
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Utilize your summer vacation constructively. Read good books or English newspaper daily.
Obey your parents & help them. Be in touch with your subjects. Learn 5 new words with
meaning daily.
2. Summer assignments must be done in the English notebook.
3. The Project work has to be submitted in a hard board file and handwritten.
4. The pictures to be pasted wherever relevant. The number of pages should be 18-20 pages
including certificate, acknowledgement, index, introduction, about the writer, central idea,
summary, key points, vocabulary, literary devices, bibliography.

Q1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

1. Two weeks ago, I travelled across northeast Karnataka and spent time in the districts of Culbarga,
Bijapur and Yadgir, including many villages and small towns. Almost all my time was spent in
government schools, with children, teachers and other functionaries of the system. I also spent some
time with people from a few village communities.

2. This large area of Karnataka is very disadvantaged. A week spent in such a region can be very
disturbing because it reveals the reality of inequality and injustice that millions of our fellow citizens
face. But despite glaringly visible problems and challenges, the week was also deeply energizing and
filled me with hope because of the spirit of the people I met there. My experience is best described by
two examples.

3. I met a girl who was about 16. She was clear that she wanted to join the police service. She opened
up about her life. She spoke of an incident when a man harassed her, and how she confronted him
directly and stopped him in his tracks. Her boldness and courage would do anyone proud. She comes
from an area driven by deep seated gender disparity and discrimination. Her family is deeply
disadvantaged and it is obvious that all odds are heavily loaded against her.

4. However, she is what she is, an individual with courage, conviction and aspirations. She is
admirable. A local group of people and an NGO, which mobilize the community to help young girls,
have supported her. And she is one among the hundreds who have benefited. The young people I met
and the NGO that works with them are a remarkable example of resilience and of battling for justice.

5. I also met, across all villages and small towns, hundreds of teachers from government schools who
are deeply committed and motivated. They spend their own money and come on their own time, often
on a public holiday or weekend, to learn something new, so that they can become better teachers.

6. I can tell you that even in a successful IT company there will be very few takers if you ask people to
come on a Sunday, at their own cost, to learn and become better software engineers. But these teachers
do this. They recognize from within themselves that as educators, they have a deep responsibility. That,
in many ways, the future of our children is in their hands.

7. This positive experience with government schoolteachers is not limited to Karnataka but true across
the country. Our experience has been that 10-20 per cent teachers everywhere are highly motivated.
They lead positive change.
8. It‟s true that 10-20 per cent are quite disengaged. However even more importantly, the middle 60 per
cent works positively if the right atmosphere and support structure is provided. Also, if young people
who are just getting into the profession have the right environment then they can develop as genuinely
committed educators.

9. To me, all this is a reason for great hope. It certainly is positive reason for hope that in the frontline
of our public education, in the government school system, there are a significant number of people
working for genuine improvement. And this includes not just teachers but also officials at various
levels of the system.

10. Our schools and colleges need to improve on very many counts. We are aware of these challenges. I
believe our efforts to improve the system will receive a big fillip if we harness and channelise abundant
positive energy that I alluded to. We can't always keep blaming and castigating people in our public
systems because that is no way for any positive change to happen.

11. We have to provide support and create the environment for such change to happen, for people to
feel empowered and take initiative. And at the same time, we must strongly reaffirm our commitment
to the public education system; this is very fundamental issue.

12. Let me end by saying that all my life, I have learnt that ordinary people are capable of doing
extraordinary things. For this they need to be trusted, encouraged and empowered. This is not the only
thing that needs to be done, but nothing else will work unless we do this.

(i) On the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the following questions with the help
of the given options:

(a) While travelling across Northeast Karnataka, the author

(b) NGO stands for....
(c) The author met a girl who
(d) To progress, any good society needs…

relationships with others around. Write an article in about 120-150 words on „Being a Teenager‟

2. The story „The Tiger King‟ has a powerful message on preservation of Mother Earth and its
wildlife. The story highlights the wanton nature of those in power. They have a very callous
attitude towards nature. Write on the topic based on the reading.

newspaper and select any five of them which should be of five different dates. Cut them and paste them
in a file and write a response.
Q8. Writing Newspaper Report
